Students, educators and philanthropists have shown an enthusiastic appetite for digital learning. Yet education technology, with its potential to personalize learning, boost student achievement and lower costs, is still seen by some as more fad than future. How can donors ensure technology is truly transformative in K–12 education?
Join America’s leading local and national philanthropists for a candid conversation in the Big Apple as we discuss lessons from experienced philanthropists and examine efforts to rethink how learning is delivered. We’ll also discover what it takes to start a blended learning school and explore the questions top experts and donors are asking:
Explore
- How can donors effectively integrate blended learning into their K–12 giving?
- How can funders help prepare teachers and leaders for this new style of education?
- What role do for-profit investors and providers play in the growth of digital learning?
- What roadblocks are preventing technology from meeting students’ needs?
